WHEREAS, the Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Registration Statement on Form F-4, No: 333-274454, for the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of, among other securities, the Class A ordinary shares of the Company, par value US$0.0001 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”) issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (as defined below);
WHEREAS, the Company desires the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the Company, and the Warrant Agent is willing to so act, in connection with the issuance, registration, transfer, exchange and exercise of the Warrants;
WHEREAS, the Company desires to provide for the form and provisions of the Warrants, the terms upon which they shall be issued and exercised, and the respective rights, limitation of rights, and immunities of the Company and the holders of the Warrants in accordance with the warrant instrument attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Warrant Instrument”), the provisions of which are incorporated herein; and
WHEREAS, all acts and things have been done and performed which are necessary to make the Warrants, when executed by the Company as provided herein, the valid, binding and legal obligations of the Company, and to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Appointment of Warrant Agent. The Company hereby appoints the Warrant Agent to act as agent and authorized representative of the Company for the Warrants, and the Warrant Agent xxxxxx accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the same in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
2. Warrants.
2.1 Form of Warrant. Each Warrant shall be (a) issued in registered form only, (b) in substantially the form of Schedule 1 to the Warrant Instrument, and (c) signed by, or bear the facsimile signature of, an authorized signatory of the Company. In the event the person whose facsimile signature has been placed upon any Warrant shall have ceased to serve in the capacity in which such person signed the Warrant before such Warrant is issued, it may be issued with the same effect as if he or she had not ceased to be such at the date of issuance.
2.2 Warrant Issuance. The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized to deliver, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Warrants required to be issued pursuant to clause 2.1 of the Warrant Instrument, and the Company shall supply the Warrant Agent with Warrants duly executed on behalf of the Company for such purpose.
2.3 Registration.
2.3.1 Warrant Register. The Warrant Agent shall maintain books (the “Warrant Register”) for the registration of the original issuance and transfers of the Warrants. Upon the initial issuance of the Warrants, the Warrant Agent shall register the Warrants in the names of the respective holders thereof in such denominations and otherwise in accordance with instructions delivered to the Warrant Agent by the Company.
2.3.2 Registered Holder. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Warrant, the Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the person in whose name such Warrant shall be registered upon the Warrant Register (the “registered holder”), as the absolute owner of such Warrant and of each Warrant represented thereby (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing on the warrant certificate made by anyone other than the Company or the Warrant Agent), for the purpose of any exercise thereof, and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
3. Terms and Exercise of Warrants.
3.1 Exercise Price. Each Warrant shall entitle the registered holder thereof, subject to the provisions of such Warrant and of this Agreement, to purchase from the Company 0.307212 Class A Ordinary Shares, subject to the adjustments provided in clause 7 of the Warrant Instrument, at the Exercise Price specified therein. The term “Exercise Price” as used in this Agreement refers to the exercise price per Warrant at which 0.307212 Class A Ordinary Shares, subject to the adjustments provided in clause 7 of the Warrant Instrument, may be purchased at the time a Warrant is exercised.
3.2 Duration of Warrants. A Warrant may be exercised only during the period (“Exercise Period”) commencing on the issuance date of such Warrant and ending on October 14, 2027 (both dates inclusive) (the “Expiration Date”). Each Warrant not exercised on or before the Expiration Date shall become void, and all rights thereunder and all rights in respect thereof under this Agreement shall cease at the end of the Expiration Date.
3.3 Exercise of Warrants. The Warrants shall be exercised in accordance with clauses 2, 4, 5, 6 and 9 of the Warrant Instrument. The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized to perform the Company’s obligations under clauses 6 and 9 of the Warrant Instrument.
4. Adjustments. The Exercise Ratio (as defined in the Warrant Instrument), the Exercise Price and any fractional Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants shall be adjusted in accordance with clause 7 of the Warrant Instrument. Upon occurrence of any adjustment to the Exercise Rights (as defined in the Warrant Instrument) made pursuant to clauses 7.1 to 7.4 of the Warrant Instrument, the Company shall promptly notify the Warrant Agent of such adjustment in writing, following which, the Warrant Agent shall send the registered holders notice of such adjustment together with a replacement warrant certificate in accordance with clause 7.5 of the Warrant Instrument.

5. Transfer, Exchange and Replacement of Warrants.
5.1 Registration of Transfer. Subject to clause 2 of Schedule 2 to the Warrant Instrument, the Warrant Agent shall register the transfer, from time to time, of any outstanding Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of such Warrant for transfer, accompanied by duly stamped instrument of transfer and such other evidence as the board of directors of the Company may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer. Upon any such transfer, a new Warrant representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants shall be issued and the old Warrant shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent. The Warrants so cancelled may be delivered by the Warrant Agent to the Company from time to time upon request.
5.2 Procedure for Surrender of Warrants. Warrants may be surrendered to the Warrant Agent, together with a written request for exchange or transfer, and thereupon the Warrant Agent shall issue in exchange therefor one or more new Warrants as requested by the registered holder of the Warrants so surrendered, representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants; provided, however, that in the event that the transfer of the Warrant so surrendered is subject to the Company’s prior written consent pursuant to clause 2 of Schedule 2 to the Warrant Instrument, the Warrant Agent shall not cancel such Warrant and issue new Warrants in exchange therefor until the Warrant Agent has received a copy of the Company’s written consent with respect to such transfer.
5.3 Replacement of Warrants. If a Warrant is mutilated, defaced, lost, stolen or destroyed, it will be replaced in accordance with clause 12 of the Warrant Instrument. Mutilated or defaced Warrant in respect of which replacement is being sought must be surrendered to the Warrant Agent before replacement will be issued.
5.4 Fractional Warrants. No fractions of a Class A Ordinary Share shall be issued on the exercise of a Warrant. If, by reason of any provisions in the Warrant Instrument, any registered holder would otherwise be entitled, upon the exercise of its Exercise Rights (as defined in the Warrant Instrument), to receive a fractional interest in a Class A Ordinary Share (after aggregating all fractional Class A Ordinary Shares that otherwise would be received by such registered holder), the Warrant Agent shall, upon such exercise, round down the number of Class A Ordinary Shares to be issued to such warrantholder to the nearest whole number.
5.5 Service Charges. No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Warrants.
5.6 Warrant Execution. The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized to deliver, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Warrants required to be issued pursuant to the provisions of Section 4 and this Section 5, and the Company, whenever required by the Warrant Agent, will supply the Warrant Agent with Warrants duly executed on behalf of the Company for such purposes.
6. Concerning the Warrant Agent and Other Matters.
6.1 Payment of Taxes. The Company will from time to time promptly pay all taxes and charges that may be imposed upon the Company or the Warrant Agent in respect of the issuance or delivery of Class A Ordinary Shares upon the exercise of Warrants, but the Company shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes in respect of the Warrants or such shares.

After appointment, any successor Warrant Agent shall be vested with all the authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties, and obligations of its predecessor Warrant Agent with like effect as if originally named as Warrant Agent hereunder, without any further act or deed; but if for any reason it becomes necessary or appropriate, the predecessor Warrant Agent shall execute and deliver, at the expense of the Company, an instrument transferring to such successor Warrant Agent all the authority, powers, and rights of such predecessor Warrant Agent hereunder; and upon request of any successor Warrant Agent the Company shall make, execute, acknowledge, and deliver any and all instruments in writing for more fully and effectually vesting in and confirming to such successor Warrant Agent all such authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties, and obligations.
6.2.2 Notice of Successor Warrant Agent. In the event a successor Warrant Agent shall be appointed, the Company shall give notice thereof to the predecessor Warrant Agent and the transfer agent for the Class A Ordinary Shares not later than the effective date of any such appointment.

The Warrant Agent may rely upon such statement for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.
6.4.2 Indemnity. The Warrant Agent shall be liable hereunder only for its own gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.

4.2 | The Warrants shall be in registered form. Each Warrant shall carry the Exercise Right and shall be transferable in accordance with clause 10 and Schedule 2. |
5 | Mechanism for Exercising Exercise Rights |
5.1 | Subject to clause 4.1, if a Warrantholder decides to exercise its Exercise Rights in whole or in part, such Warrantholder may do so by lodging the following items at the Registered Office: |
5.1.1 | the relevant Warrant Certificate, together with the duly completed Notice of Exercise; and |
5.1.2 | a bank transfer to the PubCo Bank Account for the aggregate Exercise Price payable for the Warrants in respect of which the Exercise Rights are being exercised. |
6 | Completion |
6.1 | Subject to clause 6.3, following a valid exercise of Exercise Rights by a Warrantholder, PubCo shall in accordance with clause 6.2: |
6.1.1 | allot and issue to the Warrantholder (or to its nominee or trustee, if applicable) the Class A Ordinary Shares to which the Warrantholder is entitled, being a number of Class A Ordinary Shares equal to the product of (x) the number of exercised Warrants, multiplied by (y) the Exercise Ratio; and |
6.1.2 | cause such Class A Ordinary Shares to be registered in book entry form and registered in PubCo’s share register or register of members (as applicable) in the Warrantholder’s name (or its nominee’s or trustee’s name, if applicable). |
6.2 | The obligations of PubCo under clause 6.1 shall be fulfilled within two (2) Business Days after the Notice of Exercise is lodged at the Registered Office (the date such obligations are being fulfilled, the “Exercise Date”). |
6
6.3 | Warrant Shares issued pursuant to this Instrument: |
6.3.1 | shall be credited as fully paid; |
6.3.2 | shall have the rights set out in the PubCo Charter relating to Class A Ordinary Shares; and |
6.3.3 | shall rank pari passu in all respects with those Class A Ordinary Shares in issue on the Exercise Date. |
6.4 | If a Warrantholder exercises only some of his/her/its Warrants, a new Warrant Certificate in respect of the balance of the Warrants will be issued and delivered to the Warrantholder within five (5) Business Days of the surrender of that Warrant Certificate (for avoidance of doubt, the date of issuance of the balance of such Warrants shall remain the same). |
7 | Adjustment |
7.1 | Share Dividends and Splits. If after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of clause 7.6 below, the number of outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares is increased by a share dividend payable in Class A Ordinary Shares, or by a split up of Class A Ordinary Shares, or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such share dividend, split up or similar event, the Exercise Ratio shall be increased in proportion to such increase in issued and outstanding shares of Class A Ordinary Shares. |
7.2 | Aggregation of Shares. If after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of clause 7.6 below, the number of issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares is decreased by a consolidation, combination or reclassification of Class A Ordinary Shares or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reclassification or similar event, the Exercise Ratio shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares. |
7.3 | Adjustments in Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Ratio is adjusted, as provided in clauses 7.1 or 7.2 above, the Exercise Price shall be the same as it was prior to the such adjustment. |
7.4 | Replacement of Securities upon Reorganization, etc. In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares (other than a change addressed in clauses 7.1 or 7.2 above or that solely affects the par value of such Class A Ordinary Shares), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of PubCo with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which PubCo is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets or other property of PubCo as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which PubCo is dissolved, the Warrantholders shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the Warrants and in lieu of the Class A Ordinary Shares purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the Warrantholder would have received if such Warrantholder had exercised his/her/its Warrant(s) immediately prior to such event; and if any reclassification also results in a change in Class A Ordinary Shares addressed in clauses 7.1 or 7.2 above, then such adjustment shall be made pursuant to clauses 7.1, 7.2 and this clause 7.4. The provisions of this clause 7.4 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers or consolidations, sales or other transfers. |
7
7.5 | Notice of Changes in Warrants. PubCo shall send the Warrantholders notice of any adjustments to the Exercise Rights made pursuant to clauses 7.1 to 7.4 as soon as practicable (and within five (5) Business Days) following the relevant resolution of the Board giving effect to or sanctioning the event referred to in clauses 7.1 to 7.4 together with a replacement Warrant Certificate evidencing each Warrantholder’s adjusted Exercise Ratio. |
7.6 | No Fractional Shares. No fractions of a Warrant Share shall be issued on the exercise of a Warrant. If, by reason of any provisions in this Instrument, any Warrantholder would otherwise be entitled, upon the exercise of its Exercise Rights, to receive a fractional interest in a Warrant Share (after aggregating all fractional Warrant Shares that otherwise would be received by such Warrantholder), PubCo shall, upon such exercise, round down the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to such Warrantholder to the nearest whole number. |
7.7 | Other Events. In case any event shall occur affecting PubCo as to which none of the provisions of preceding subclauses of this clause 7 are strictly applicable, but which would require an adjustment to the terms of the Warrants in order to (a) avoid an adverse impact on the Warrants and (b) effectuate the intent and purpose of this clause 7, then, in each such case, the Board shall appoint a firm of independent public accountants, investment banking or other appraisal firm of recognized national standing, which shall give its opinion as to whether or not any adjustment to the rights represented by the Warrants is necessary to effectuate the intent and purpose of this clause 7 and, if they determine that an adjustment is necessary, the terms of such adjustment. Without prejudice to the foregoing, PubCo shall not take any action which would result in any adjustment to the Exercise Ratio if, after giving effect thereto, the Exercise Ratio would be increased to such an extent that the Class A Ordinary Shares to be issued on exercise of any Warrants could not, under any applicable law then in effect, be legally issued as fully paid. |
8 | Undertaking of PubCo |
PubCo undertakes to each Warrantholder that during the Exercise Period (except with Warrantholder Consent or pursuant to clause 7 of this Instrument or as otherwise provided in the PubCo Charter), it will keep available for issue and free from preemptive rights sufficient authorised but unissued share capital to satisfy in full the exercise of all outstanding Warrants.
9 | Winding up of PubCo |
If, during the Exercise Period, an order is made or an effective resolution is passed for winding up or dissolution of PubCo (except for the purpose of implementing a reconstruction, amalgamation or scheme of arrangement on terms previously sanctioned by a special resolution) each Warrantholder will be treated as if, immediately before the date of such order or resolution, such Warrantholder had exercised all the Exercise Rights which remain to be exercised by such Warrantholder and shall be entitled to receive out of the assets which would otherwise be available in the liquidation such sum (if any) as such Warrantholder would have received had such Warrantholder been the holder of the Class A Ordinary Shares to which such Warrantholder would have become entitled by virtue of such exercise, after deducting from such sum an amount equal to the Exercise Price which would have been payable upon such exercise.
8
10 | Transfer of Warrants |
The Warrants are transferable in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 2 of Schedule 2.
11 | Variation of Rights |
11.1 | All or any of the rights for the time being attached to the Warrants (including the Exercise Rights) may from time to time (whether or not PubCo is being wound up) be altered or abrogated with Warrantholder Consent and shall be effected by an instrument by way of deed poll executed by PubCo and expressed to be supplemental to this Instrument. |
11.2 | Modifications to the Instrument which are of a formal, minor or technical nature, or made to correct a manifest error, may be effected by an instrument by way of deed poll executed by PubCo and expressed to be supplemental to this Instrument. |
12 | Replacement of Warrant Certificates |
If a Warrant Certificate is mutilated, defaced, lost, stolen or destroyed, it will be replaced by PubCo upon payment by the Warrantholder of PubCo’s reasonable costs in connection with the issue of the replacement. Mutilated or defaced Warrant Certificates in respect of which replacements are being sought must be surrendered before replacements will be issued.
13 | Notices |
Any notice to be given to or by the Warrantholders for the purposes of this Instrument shall be given in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 3 of Schedule 2.
14 | Termination |
This Instrument shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the end of the Exercise Period or (ii) the date upon which there ceases to be any unexercised Warrants outstanding.
15 | Governing Law and Arbitration |
15.1 | This Instrument and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Cayman Islands, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the Cayman Islands or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the Cayman Islands. |
9
15.2 | Any dispute, controversy, difference or claim arising out of or relating to this Instrument, including the existence, validity, interpretation, performance, breach or termination thereof or any dispute regarding non-contractual obligations arising out of or relating to it shall be finally resolved by arbitration administered by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (“HKIAC”) under the HKIAC Administered Arbitration Rules in force when the notice of arbitration is submitted. The law of this arbitration clause shall be that stated in clause 15.1. The seat of this arbitration shall be Hong Kong. The number of arbitrators shall be three (3). The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in English. |
15.3 | Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this clause shall prevent any party seeking any interim or interlocutory relief in aid of any arbitration or in connection with enforcement proceedings from any court of competent jurisdiction. |
